Come up with some awesome way to repurpose one or more coffee sleeves! They are a great source of corrugated cardboard and best of all, they are free! If you don't drink hot drinks from somewhere that gives them out, surely a friend does. Or I'm sure someone here could send you some. You can die cut them, tear them and use them as a layer, add paint to them and use them as a stamp and even use them as a base for a mini book! There are tons of ideas! I'm not going to dictate what you must make. Fun right? A card, mixed media canvas, ATCs, tags, or any mixture thereof or something else entirely. But I will give you a minimum size your decorated surface(s) must be. Please make your project(s) a total of 25" sq. This is equivalent to a 5x5" card. All you do to check is multiply the length by the width of your project. If you make more than one, add them together. To help you out, an ATC is roughly 9" so three is perfect. A standard A2 card is 23.4 so close enough. A 5x7 card is 35 so you are more than good with that. I don't know standard tag sizes, sorry. Just measure and multiply! (The whole decorated space DOES NOT HAVE TO BE COVERED IN COFFEE SLEEVES and the whole surface of your project doesn't have to be embellished. This just helps you gauge how big your project(s) should be to make it fair. You know, you send a 10 page mini book and get an ATC in return?) *be sure to create keeping in mind the shabby, vintage, classy Stampington style. *If you use rubber stamping, please stamp cleanly; missed areas, smudges or double lines are not acceptable. *Please check your partner's profile and avoid dislikes in colour. You may make this profile based if you wish. *Please do not use computer generated images or wording unless they are professional quality and do not show pixelation. And no magazine cut outs or 'kid' stickers. *Please make beautiful projects you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive. *Each project must include a total of at LEAST 5 layers and/or embellishments. You must use all quality craft supplies. No cheap junk. *Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight. Colouring needs to look adult, not like a child did it. Please don't be discouraged by these rules. I am only referring to general tidy work, not tiny flaws. *Please have a 4.98+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me ahead of the sign up deadline. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out. |
